Admiral William Owen has joined Goldstein Roth & Co, an investment banking and financial services company, as senior advisor to Chairman Sharik Currimbhoy Ebrahim, and President – International Relationships and Investor Relations.
Speaking on the development, Sharik Currimbhoy Ebrahim commented, “Admiral Owens brings to Goldstein Roth an international perspective that is available to very few. He has strategized with Presidents on extremely long-term issues and understands our philosophy of building institutions that lasts centuries, not one focused on quarterly results and a narrow focus on commerce.”
Ebrahim said, “Having run a private equity fund out of Hong Kong for many years, Admiral Owens has the ability to reach out to investors around the world, but the biggest advantage he brings to us is his wisdom and experience, and the discipline, loyalty and ethical standards that he represents. These are the most powerful and important pieces of building a strong organization.”
Speaking on his appointment, Admiral William Owen said, “I’m looking forward to working alongside the team at Goldstein Roth & Co. The company occupies a unique space in between India and international investors, and I’m here to strengthen that presence. I’m also looking forward to my role as an advisor to the founder, Sharik Currimbhoy, who has grown this group of companies from scratch.
“However, I see this as only a first step in a much larger journey for him and the organization and look forward to being a catalyst in its growth to the next level which is a natural next step in its evolution,” he further added.
